The study is applied the hybridrecommendation system that is one approach for recommendation system. This approach is executed by used each of clustering algorithms and association rules algorithms on the nature of data which have been collected from the University of Kordofan, Faculty of Computer Studies and Statistics. The clusteringalgorithms results were evaluated regarding to high accuracy for each cluster and then applied Association rules algorithms in particular. The obtained results are generated strong rules that appear which courses are effectiveness posative or nagative on accumulative GPA.
